Q: Who was the first Hispanic admitted to the Baseball Hall of Fame?
A: Roberto Clemente.
This question - and many others - were the focus of Bayview Avenue School's Hispanic Heritage Month presentation to the Freeport Board of Education on October 19. Using a "Wheel of Fortune" format, the students reminded the audience of the important contributions of many famous Hispanics such as Ruben Blades and Diego Rivera, to name but two.
There was also recognition of National School Board Week --certificates from the New York State School Boards Association, gifts from the National School Boards Associations, and an ail-too seldom recognition of how hard school board members work and how much time they spend in service to the children of our area.
District Science Co-ordin>itor
Dr. Nicholas Tzimmopoulos gave an update on the district's science research program. A number of Freeport students took part during the summer, working at internships at research facilities. They also got to visit labs at other research facilities such as Memorial Sloan-Kettering
Hospital and to speak with other science students at Temple, Colunibia and many other universities. Six students received college credit, and four were invited to participate in the New York City Science Fair - a good program for all concerned.
A report by the Community Relations Committee was given regarding the Wall of Fame. Various ideas have been advanced (a formal dinner, connecting the event with high school homecoming), and a committee of nine, is being assembled to plan the event. All members of the community must be longtime Freeport High School akims.
